- Part where you can see giant boots walking around the band in a couple of spots has been removed
- Fighter Planes added around the time where the first set of giant boots walking around
- One of the middle eastern women that had a gettyimages watermark on it had the watermark removed
- Other middle eastern women who had watermarks have been removed completely and replaced with the African people
- Part where video blacks out has been removed
- The spot where you could see the legs of a women who was laying down now has 4 legs instead of 2.

I think those are the main changes. There might be more but from an initial side by side viewing thats what I noticed.


:up: Only other thing is that there are actually 5 legs on that one part near the end, it's kinda scary :uhoh:
 
Well, Universal has it up on YouTube now

But there's no high-quality version, they letterboxed it, and the quality is shite.

I swear they could fuck up a wet dream.

Oh, and I see they disabled embedding too. Bonus!


:lol:

You wonder who's in charge over there.
 
why oh why did they remove the psychedelic guitar mini solo?????????????????? it better be on the album

I hope it's on the album, too. I can't stand the hen-peck guitar solo. Didn't care for the Vertigo solo either. How cool would a screaming run be right there? Of course, I'm well aware that The Edge takes pleasure in the anti-solo. See With or Without You.
 
yeah, if they wouldve left in the guitar effect and made the mini solo a grande we could have an epic song on our hands, Boots called for it. wouldve been a fine time to drop the solo inhibition
 
I think the mix on the draft version was a rough mix... probably the 'December mix' that was mentioned on the whiteboard on the u2.com video, which they said was almost complete but needed a few changes.

I :heart: anti-solos.
 
Well, Universal has it up on YouTube now:

YouTube - U2 - Get On Your Boots: Official Promo Version

But there's no high-quality version, they letterboxed it, and the quality is shite.

holy fuck thats lame.. compare that to Coldplay's handlers who put up their shit in HD: (click watch in hd on the page)

YouTube - Coldplay - Life In Technicolor ii (HD)
 
I like first version of the video more.I mean it looked like a part of art. The last one looks like very bad photoshop. Like VERY bad photoshop.:angry:
 
no kidding, the video before was perfect then the guys at the top got their lame hands on it and did what they always do, they took the magic out. i hope principle or universal is reading this. stay the fuck out of their way for god's sake. leave well enough alone. and give me back that 60's psychedelic guitar effect.

I will be showing my friends the leaked version and not this weaksauce shit. when will you learn that when you polish things up eventually you rub a hole through what was?

The video wasnt finished ! the fat cats didnt have their paws on it.

I have to agree.

the previous version seemed to directly reference a number of artists and famous figures in art. I think I even saw a couple of famous statues in the first one that I don't think appear in this new one.

BTW, I'll have to go back and hear it again, but did they really get rid of the 6note solo? I could have sworn it was in there. :hmm:
 
lol theres not much difference between the two videos except making it less sexual (getting rid of the giant boots walking around and making 5 legs at the end instead of 2)
 
^ I thought there was more 'shirtless' bono in this one too :wink: :whistle:
I hope you are being sarcastic... if not, this is whats different visually:
- Part where you can see giant boots walking around the band in a couple of spots has been removed
- Fighter Planes added around the time where the first set of giant boots walking around
- One of the middle eastern women that had a gettyimages watermark on it had the watermark removed
- Other middle eastern women who had watermarks have been removed completely and replaced with the African people
- Part where video blacks out has been removed
- The spot where you could see the legs of a women who was laying down now has 5 legs instead of 2.

I think those are the main changes. There might be more but from an initial side by side viewing thats what I noticed.
 
^ ^ ^ wasn't being sarcastic :reject: . . . :D:

Love the video . . . bit disappointed that some of its been fiddled with as I thought the leaked version was brilliant . . . mate of mine who is not a U2 fan at all saw it yesterday and was impressed which made me happy :yes:
